I did a set of 5 squats with no weight then did some stretching and then did squats with the barbell. I think a big part of my pain was I sit at a desk all day. Even tho I got up and stretched and walked a bit I still say must of the day. As soon as I got home and started cleaning and chasing after 2 kids I felt better and…

yeah definitely going to have to modify the squats today. I can barely make it up and down the stairs at work.

what stretches are best? Its mostly the front side of my thighs, the backs are sore but nothing I can't still do my workout with. They hurt so bad I doubt I will make it through the 5x5 squats

Oh good thinking. I am pretty sure I have one, I will look when I get home. I am at work right now and have a pretty hefty reusable water bottle I keep eye balling like it will some how magically heal my pain. I am giving it a try right now!

It's not so much a money and more of a space thing for the rack. We are a family of 4 and a medium sized dog pecked into a 700 sq/ft house. That would be why all the plates are in a bad under the bed lol no where else to put them. We are buying a much larger house in the next 6 months so I will definitely invest in a rack…

hmmm I will go on a mission later to figure out what I can set it on. My boyfriend has most of the weights all in one bag under the bed and I can't get it out of there by myself lol I am sure I have a few 2x4s out in the shed that might work. I am ordering db bars off amazon this weekend since I already have a *kitten* ton…

if I can actually eat everything I put in my diary today I will hit 100g for the day!!! Ok another question. For the barbell row and the dead lifts. I started out with just the bar and will be using small weights in the next few weeks which = short weights that do not elevate the bar very high. It just feels wrong and like…

ok here is a question for ya. I just started and the weights I am using are still small so it feels just wrong to set it all the way back down to the floor, same with deadlifts. I feel like my form gets a little iffy when I try to set it back on the floor because the weights are not big enough to elevate the bar very high…

I need to go out and find a good protein powder because I am struggling to get enough.

I plan to but I don't want to jump too fast. I ended up eating 1600 today after my snack. I'll go up some more over the next few weeks

Holy *kitten* I'm out of shape. I did every thing with just the bar today and it's not even an Olympic bar, and I'm sore!

Yeah I just bumped it up to 1500 today since I was eating 1200 I didn't want to go up to quick. I'll go up another hundred next week

thank you!

I will be making these tonight to go with my pasta, Thanks!!!

I do my best to get it right but when in doubt go with the higher option just in case. That's what I do

I just started the mini pill 3 days ago and suddenly the amount of food I have ben eating for a few weeks just is not cutting it the last few days. I have been so hungry. Being a woman is a constant struggle!

I am also 24 (will be 25 soon) trying to lose another 20-25 lbs I am already down 9lbs from when I started. feel free to add me!!

I will also be starting on feb 1st count me in!

thanks. Yeah it is still frozen at the moment so I stabbed it instead of scoring it. Thanks!

I just had to explain to my boyfriend this morning why I was almost 2lbs heavier today. I am a 24 year old woman, and I bloat bad during different times of the month. Im not worried I know in about 3 to 4 days I will be right back on track.

Females can gain and lose 5 lbs all the time just from your menstrual cycle. Don't panic, add another 100-150 calories this week and see how it goes. I know my weight fluctuates drastically just in one day during different times of the month. When I woke up this morning I was at 144.3, I ate a very light breakfast and had…

Everything the previous posters said is accurate. I had a very simple, no down time at all, in and out of the or in 40 mins procedure and gained 8 lbs that day just from fluids and the meds they pumped in me. And my mouth was freakin dry!!! I probably drank 5 lbs in water that day trying to get my mouth to a point where it…

before you start taking an iron supplement read what is in your pill first. I once took a pill with iron in the week non hormone pills. You don't want to take too much and then end up wit constipation cramps on top of menstrual and feel even more sluggish due to the constipation. Call your doc they will have the best…

I made pizzas on on the high fiber 100 calorie English muffins with low fat cheese and turkey peperoni. My kids really enjoyed making them too. I think it ended up being around 200 calories for 2 of them (1 whole English muffin) also you could try baking your wings instead of frying them and use a low calorie butter to…

I was always told you use an extra 500 calories a day breastfeeding. It also matters what you eat for some women. It's been a long time since I had to worry about supply so I forgot what the good foods are to up it if you notice a drop. There is a web site called babycenter.com. I love that site for anything child related.…

hahahaha you're funny! Morning work outs, that's a good joke. Seriously tho I have just now started to get out of bed in time to make me and my kids a healthy breakfast (low calorie for me) instead of feeding them sugary cereal. Not to mention those extra 15 mins I have in the morning is my only a lone during the day, I…

I do not intentionally eat them back, every now and then I will end up over my goal but I don't sweat it cuz according to mfp after my work out I am still technically under. However, if I know I am going out to eat or to the bar I will do my best to stay super low all day like no creamer in my coffee, no cheese on my eggs…

thank you!!

thank you. I have found that I am so tired at night now from all the exercise that I can actually sleep now which also plays a big part in depression. I still have moments through out the day that I just feel like bursting into tears but with being so focused on getting in shape my mind is not constantly on the miscarriage…

I don't know what kind of food you have been eating but your complexion even looks nicer in the after pictures just goes to show how much changes when we start making healthier choices. Great job!
